Exercise 1:Albinism is a hereditary deficiency characterized by the absence of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair,due to the absence of a black pigment: the melanin.Tyrosinase is an enzyme implicated in the biosynthesis of this pigment. The gene coding for tyrosinaseexists in different alleles. We consider only 2 alleles: allele A coding for the active tyrosinase responsible forthe synthesis of melanin, and allele B coding for the inactive tyrosinase which doesn't allow the synthesis ofAlbinismmelanin.The document below represents a partial sequence of a strand of the 2 alleles A and B.Number808182838485of tripletAllele ATGCСААCGAТССТАТСТТ...Allele BTGCСААСААTCCТАТСТТ... 2.

Hair color is due to the presence of melanin. There are two types of melanin produced by melanocytes. One is eumelanin, which is responsible for black (homozygous), brown (heterozygous), and blond (recessive) hair colors. The other is pheomelanin, which is responsible for red hair color. During melanin synthesis, MCR1gene converts pheomelanin to eumelanin. However, a variant of the MCR1 gene (MCR1variant), prevents this conversion. A cross between a blond-haired mother and a red-haired father produced 100% brown-haired children. When they came of age, one child married a double heterozygote, and both were blessed with 7 children; 2 with black hair, 2 with brown hair, 1 with blond hair, and 2 with red hair. TIP: Black hair is homozygous while brown hair is heterozygous, thus represented together in determining the ratio and written as black/brown in the 9:3:3:1 ratio. However, all F2s must be given their COMPLETE genotypes. Using the 7-step method, determine the genotypes of the…
